There are a couple of options I know of:

Tom Citriniti's vtkVRMLImporter (http://www.rpi.edu/~citrit/) can read in
VRML2 files (no textures). May need minor updates for the vtk version
you're using.

Stef Desmet's vtkIVImporter
(ftp://ftp.esat.kuleuven.ac.be:/pub/psi/visics/desmet/) can read in VRML1
files.

(Thanks guys)

What do you mean by a 'mode'? For my purposes I found the easiest was to
write a really simple vtkVRMLReader to suck out a polygonal mesh from a
VRML file. If you want more then you'll need one of the above.

Cheers,

Tim.
